And here we are at the Great Ocean Road! Zen decided that we should opt for the hassle-free solution and booked the one-day tour via Go West. Hooray to no pricey car hiring, no tiring drive and plenty of rejuvenating sleep during the boring and repetitive sections of the road.
The Great Ocean Road is divided by three sections. There's the long and windy roads which wrap around the coast, the lush rainforest, and then the massive pastoral scenes.

First stop was the Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre...


Next was Bell's Beach -surfing capital of Victoria...



This is probably one of the most photographed arches. We joined in with all the other tourists :-P





We then hopped on a helicopter with Great Ocean Road Helicopters (how original is the name!) to see the majestic 12 Apostles, Loch and Gorge, London Bridge, The Towering Limestone Cliffs & more!







And last but not least, London Arch. Formerly known as London Bridge... until 1990, when it collapsed and left two tourists stranded. One of them apparentally got busted for cheating on his wife (he was stranded with his other partner), and for taking a sickie @ work. LOL!!



Later in the night, at around 8.30pm, we stopped by a town named Colac for a quick dinner. Half of us rushed into Noodle Canteen which like it's name hints... is a noodle bar. Take note: the flyer stated that 'all dishes are low in fat'... but when Zen finished his meal, there must have been at least 5 tablespoons of oil left clogging around... ekk!

Wow,
What nice pictures you've got there! Are you sure some of them weren't taken by me? :-)
Yes, that was a very sexy photo of me in Apollo Bay ;)
The Helicoptor ride was very cool, we were on the biggest one, out of the 4-5 there. It was a 5 seater + the pilot! Helicopters are so cool, I want to get my heli licence now!
But its funny, how we travelled all the way there to see some 'rocks'! lol, by 7pm. 12 hours after the start of our trip, standing and watching the Lord Arch, it didnt seem too special anymore. It seem well, like a rock :o
Anyway, all good fun and experiences, but I think I prefer more adrenalin, fast, stuff! :)
